There are three categories in which you can
enter:

- not really chili\, but we're here to have fun!

Open - green\, veg
etarian\, white\, whatever

You can help out by bringing your ch

trips\, and serving utensils. Bowls\, spoons\, and napkins will be provided
. If you're not entering a chili dish\, please bring something else to sha
re with the group. We want to make sure there is enough things to eat for
everyone who shows up.

We could really use 4 to 6 folks to show up on

gh people to set up and break down the tables.

We will be looking for
judges for each of the categories and have everyone vote for their favorit
e overall. The winner of each category gets a prize and the People's Choic
e winner gets a prize and the honor of bringing home the Chief Chili Pepper
trophy!

The March meeting also features a swap meet. Bring things yo
u no longer need. You can sell them\, use beer currency\, give them away\,
even swap!

Of course\, we welcome all the home brew you would l
ike to bring to the meeting\, especially beers that go well with chili. We
even like meads and ciders.

Spring is never coming to this godforsaken
place\, so we'll have to go outside and play despite the nasty weather. T
o assist with your vitamin-D-building activities\, the MN Homebrewers Assoc
iation will tailgate at and attend a Saint Paul Saints game for the 98th ti
me since 1877. This will be the final tailgating adventure at Midway Stadi
um\, as the Saints move to a new home downtown in 2015.

Join us Thursday\, May 22nd as we reminisc
e about the past 97 MHBA Saints events--the Midway tailgating of the past 2
2 years\, the streetcar double-headers against the Minneapolis Millers in t
he 50's (remember in 1952 when Gera fell asleep on the streetcar back to th
e Saint Paul end of the day and failed to get off with the group at Lexingt
on park?)\, the Saint Paul Apostle games of the late 1800's (who will forge
t the time when Greg and Bonnie's wool clothing caught fire while they were
grilling brats over the wood fire?).

As always\, the club will provi
de tables\, chairs\, and some beer and food. All you have to do is purchas
e your tickets and bring some food to share. This year you can purchase yo
ur tickets for $15 each via the club site\, rather than sending me checks.
If you have any questions\, please contact John Longballa.

If you wait too long\, then I'll release ticke
ts back to the Saints so the the club isn't on the hook for many unsold tic
kets\, so please purchase them NOW!

Event Details

Tailga
ting will start at Midway Stadium around 4:00\, when the parking lot opens.

We will be in tailgating space 5\, on the far side of the parking
lot\, right next to the train tracks.

There will be some tables a
nd chairs provided but feel free to bring your own as well.

You can
park in the paid midway parking lot for a small fee\, or you can attempt t
o find street parking.

The club will provide one brat with bun for
each ticket purchased.

You are encouraged to bring additional foo
d to share with others.

You are encouraged to bring Homebrew\, mea
d\, cider or any beverages you wish to share! The club jockey box will be
available for those with kegs.

Remember to bring a small tasting gl
ass. Sometimes glasses are available but\, as with all our events it's best
to bring your own.

Mighty Axe is a 1/4 acre (and growing) hop yard and MN ho
ps hub with a story. They wanted to make sure we came to visit before the h
ops are harvested in the fall. Over a century ago Eric’s Great Grandfather
tilled the land at the Sannerud farm with the values of hard work\, collabo
ration and respect for the land. Nearly a hundred years later Eric wanted t
o do the same. Joined by his two good friends\, Ben and Brian\, and spurre
d by their love of Minnesota craft beer\, they started to cultivate high qu
ality\, uniquely flavored\, and environmentally sustainable hops\; thus Mighty Axe Hops wa
s born.

Bring some home brew\, bring some food to share and bring c
hair/blankets...we'll be having a picnic on the farm!

DetailsFriday August 1st-Sunday August 3rd (Arrive anytime
after 1 p.m. Friday--a few folks are staying Sunday evening as well).
Camp Nushka (just east of Cass Lake\, MN in the beautiful Chippewa Forest\,
on the shores of Cass Lake).Many spaces available for tents\, some c
amper sites as well.Bring your own camping gear and food for the week
end (Saturday night meal provided)\, plus beer to share (kegs okay\, we'll
have jockey boxes available). A chair for around the fire is a great idea.

Cost is roughly $35 per adult (kids are free)\, depending on how man
y attend (cash or checks accepted\; make payable to MHBA).This is a r
ustic site with no running water or electricity (drinking water will be ava
ilable)\, so plan accordingly. What the camp might lack in modern amenitie
s\, it more than makes up for in beauty and charm.Families and well-b
ehaved pets are welcome.Acoustic instruments are welcome\; amplified
music and firearms/fireworks are not.More wood than should be burned
is included in the cost.There are two large pavilions in case of the
'r' word.

nesota Home Brewers Association Homebrew Fest!

This is our 6th Annual
Home Brew Fest on April 4th from noon - 3 pm at the Northern Brewer Wareho
use in Roseville\, MN.

This has been a very popular event and last ye
ar we had over 70 different home brews to try. It is a great opportunity to
share your beer\, mead\, or cider with your fellow members. There will be
$25 Northern Brewer gift card for People's Choice Beer and another for Peo
ple's Choice Mead/Cider. You can bring bottles\, growlers\, or kegs---any
amount\, but try to bring enough so you can share.

To help this event
run smoothly\, I assign each entry a number and print out labels with the
styles beforehand. Therefore\, please contact Gera Exire La Tour before the meeting to let me know what
home brew you plan to bring\, so I don't have to do too much writing at the
event. Also\, let me know if you're going to want a spot on one of the jo
ckey boxes.

This is also a great event to bring a friend who is cont
emplating getting involved in either homebrewing or joining the MHBA. Hope
to see you there!

Join fellow MHBA members for a social even
t at Minnesota's own Gluten Free Brewery.

Reminder: No external food
or beverages are allowed in the facility due to the need to maintain a Glu

Although the view out your window does not

e November that the club has been sitting on fifty tickets for the Saints'
Monday\, June 8th game versus the Joplin Blasters. Why in the world would
we purchase tickets to a baseball game that at the time of sale was seven m

era this summer\, in that they're moving to their new home in Lowertown Sa
int Paul. Because of the higher level of interest in Saints baseball this
coming summer\, we bought tickets for our annual club outing the day that t
hey became available.

Tickets will be $18 each\, and include a reserved infield seat

It's been a year since our first meeting a
t Mighty Axe Hops. We return in 2015 to see how their crop has progressed a
nd to learn more about hops and growing these essential ingredients. This i
s a great area to hang out and visit with your fellow club members. Bring a
lawn chair and something to pass around for a great picnic.

We will
be staying in one of their big unimproved camping areas. We will have fir
ewood\, picnic tables\, port-a-potties\, and lots of space. The park in ge
neral has many extras to offer too. The grounds contain a swimming beach\,
hiking and biking trails\, showers\, and a store. Dock space\, boats and
water bikes are also listed as available for rent\, and horseback riding m
ay be available. All is a short walk from where the unimproved camping is.

NOTE: We could use larger tent/tarp type structures to use for sun
/rain shelters. If you have one you could bring let me know.

Reserva
tions and Costs:

Camping cost is $25 plus tax per adult for the weeke
nd in our primitive area. Please call Kevin ASAP for reservations at 320.5
97.2740 and state you are with the Minnesota Homebrewers Camp-Out. Note\,
if you want more amenities you can talk to Kevin about alternative sites th
ey may have available.

There will also be a charge for those partici
pating in Saturdayâ€™s dinner. Final costs will be determined on site. I
am expecting around $10 per adult\, no charge for kids. Please let me know
ahead of time if you are planning on coming or even if you are a maybe so
we can plan Sat food accordingly. Email me at tjroan@yahoo.com at least on
e week in advance.

Master of Malt competition:

This fun competi
tion between clubs has been held at the campout since 1992 (yes this will b
e year 24). Each club can enter up to four brews: one for ALES\, one for L
AGERS\, one for BELGIANS\, and one for MEAD/CIDERS. There will be awards f
or 1st\, 2nd\, and 3rd in all categories and best of all\, you will be comp
eting for the coveted title of Master of Malt! The win is recorded forever
in history for your club AND you get to spend a full year with the prestig
ious Master of Malt trophy. It is kind of like the Stanley Cup (but not re
ally)!

Cheers and good luck!

Sour Hour:

We are going to
get a sour hour together again this year. Sometime in the lull between aft
er Master of Malt and dinner we will get together and break out some sour b
eers. It is a very casual thing. Bring and share if you like sours.

<

Saturday's dinner will be prepared and hosted by the Pr
airie Homebrewing Companions. Popular thought right now is Gumbo\, corn br
ead muffins and maybe a salad of some kind. Maybe that will stick maybe no

The Christmas party will be on a SUNDAY th
is year! We've heard that it's difficult to attend the Christmas potluck o
n Friday evenings\, and the poll we had led us to believe that a Sunday mig
ht be just as good\, attendance-wise. And since Sundays at the CSPS are $3
00 less expensive than Fridays or Saturdays\, the board thought that we sho
uld try a Sunday for once. There will still be amazing homemade food and b
eer\, there will still be live music\, and there might be a few surprises\,
given that we can have the hall all dang day! Stay tuned . . .

On SUNDAY ... SUNday ... sunday ... Dece
mber 13th\, there is but one place to be--the club's annual Christmas party
! We're taking over the CSPS Hall (above the sadly-defunct Glockenspiel re
staurant--383 W Michigan St) from noon to five\, and your presence is reque
sted. Where else can you enjoy delicious homemade beer and food while list
ening to live music\, accompanied by the pleasant company of your fellow br
ewers? Please arrive any time after noon\, and please bring food and bevera
ges to share. There is a "People's Choice" prize for the best homemade foo
d that incorporates beer into the ingredient list\, and another prize for t
he favorite homebrew. Plates\, plasticware\, and napkins will be provided
by the club. The live music begins at 12:30\, and will be 3/5 of the band\,
the High 48s (would that be the High 28.8s?). The buffet-style meal will
commence at 1:00. Please bring a tasting glass for the homebrew\, as well
as for the six gallons of Summit Oatmeal Stout that the club is providing.
Anyone who brings at least 64 oz. of a particular beverage will receive cre
dit in the Brewer of Fame program. The club jockey box will be available f
or kegs. At 3:00 we'll have a Secret Santa homebrewed beer exchange. Bring
up to six bottles of your finest homemade wares\, with your name and bever
age style listed on a piece of tape affixed to the bottom of each bottle.
You'll take home as many bottles as you brought\, but you just won't know w
hat you're getting until you've got it--just like Christmas morning!If you
need to renew your membership\, we will be on hand to help with that as wel
l. You can also head to the club website at mnbrewers.com and renew right n
ow!Bring the entire family\, and bring some games. We won't be able to adj
ourn down the stairs to the Glock this year\, but we do have the hall rente
d until 5:00. If you have any questions\, please hit reply and ask away\, o

share. Club jockey boxes will be available so kegs are welcome and encoura
ged

The campfires are always accompanied by the passing around of g
reat beers for all to sample. Start thinking now about what delectable del
ights you'll bring in your cooler.

The host clubs cook dinner Satur
day evening\, for all other meals\, you'll want to make sure you bring food
for yourself and/or family

Of course\, bring your own camping gear
and chairs

Well behaved dogs welcome

Special E
vents:

Over the years some traditions have developed and som
e new ones are added:

Master of Malt: This fun
competition between clubs has been held at the campout since 1992 (yes thi
s will be year 25). Each club can enter up to four brews: one for ALES\, o
ne for LAGERS\, one for BELGIANS\, and one for MEAD/CIDERS. There will be
awards for 1st\, 2nd\, and 3rd in all categories and best of all\, you will
be competing for the coveted title of Master of Malt! The win is recorded
forever in history for your club AND you get to spend a full year with the
prestigious Master of Malt trophy. It is kind of like the Stanley Cup (bu
t not really)!

Sour Hour: A tart happy hour. Som
etime in the lull between the Master of Malt competition and dinner we will
get together and break out some sour beers. It is a very casual thing. B
ring and share if you like sours.

Bloody Mary Mornings (okay\, maybe early afternoon for later risers): Some of us like to s
tart the day with a good Bloody Mary (remember the old saying\, "you can't
drink all day if you don't start in the morning.") This is another low key
event\, if you would like to begin your day this way\, bring your own mix
and vodka to begin\, but also bring one Bloody Mary Builder to share with t
he group (pickles\, beef sticks\, cheese\, celery\, the list is endless).
Let's see how creative we can get.

Saturday Dinner: Saturday's dinner will be prepared and hosted by the Cloudy Town Brewer
s and Northern Alestars. This years dinner will be pulled pork with salad
and desserts to accompany. So we can plan for dinner pleased indicate your
participation by e-mailing tsarne@msn.com

If any of this sounds like fun\, you'll wan
t to join us at the campout! See you there.

Cheers!

Bring the family (and the homebrew!) to St
. Francis Bowling Center in Saint Paul on Sunday\, March 26th\, from 12:30-
3:00. This family-friendly club event is free for all members in good stan
ding\; the only cost to you (besides possibly your pride) is $2/person for
shoes. Children and homebrew are welcome! A lane or two will have bumper
buddies (gutter guards) for anyone who needs them. There's no need to be t
here right at 12:30\; please bring some snacks\, stop by when you're able\,
roll a few balls\, and quaff a few homebrews.

This is one of the las
t of the German-Catholic basement bowling alleys that were quite prevalent
in the second half of the previous century. We have the entire place and a
ll six lanes to ourselves during our rented time. There will be door prize
s\, and a prize for the best homebrew. The St. Francis Bowling Center is located in the St. Francis school buildi
ng at 426 S. Osceola Avenue\, St. Paul\, MN 55102\, just one block north of
the intersection of Randolph and West 7th.

Twelve intrepid brewer
s gathered at the home of Steve Weiland March 27th. The first mission--to
move the 53-gallon Wild Turkey barrel and barrel rack into Steve's basement
. The second mission--remove the bung\; this proved to be no small task.
The third mission--taste the twelve Russian Imperial Stouts for possible in
fection. The fourth mission--fill the barrel with the homebrew. The fifth
mission--make it home.

This is the latest phase of the club's barrel
project\, which began with the club purchasing the barrel and stand throug
h Duluth Barrel Works (DBW). It was very kind of Jon from DBW to deliver t
he barrel to us while in the Cities delivering other barrels. A few months
back\, twelve brewers agreed to each make at least five gallons of imperia
l stout\, and each brewer agreed to use the same recipe\, which was an awar
d-winning beer for Curt Stock a while ago.

The mission now is for Ste
ve to keep the barrel topped off\, and to test the beer every few weeks to
determine when it has acquired enough barrel character. The plan is to the
n fill the barrel with an old ale\, and any member in good standing is welc
ome to participate in that filling project. Samples of the final products
will be available later this year at club events.

What's better than drinking your own homeb
rew one night at home by yourself? Three days of drinking homebrew from OT
HER people's stashes from across the entire state while chilling around a w
ell-populated campfire outside during the nicest time of the year!

Bu
t what to do between the homebrew and the mead? Go hiking\, horseback ridi
ng\, or swimming in a lake!

But surely this must cost a small fortune
and a ton of drive time\, right? How about $25 per adult and 90 minutes o
f driving through lovely central Minnesota?

Bring your tent to El Ran
cho Manana August 4-6\, 2017 and take up residence around the campfire for
36 hours or so. Saturday's events include a homebrew contest (no need to l
eave your lawn chair) and a deluxe supper (you might have to stand up to ge
t your food . . . ). There is space for smaller RVs and pop-ups\, and the
improved campground has electric sites and bath houses.

This VERY fa
mily-friendly event is a great way to connect with brewers from Saint Cloud
\, Fargo-Morehead\, and Duluth-Superior. Last year celebrated the 25th ann
iversary of this treasured tradition\, so come help us kick off the next 25
-year run!

Fargo-Moorhead. The cost is usually minimal\, and is often around $25/pers
on\, camping and Saturday's feast included\; kids are free. After three ye
ars at El Rancho Manana\, the event moves back to Camp Nushka this time around.

This is an amazing weekend\, and is g
reat for families and well-behaved pets. If you don't care for drinking gr
eat beverages in the summer sunlight\, or for sitting around a campfire whi
le people sing and pass you amazing beer\, then you should avoid this event
at all costs.

Please let Tom know if you are coming by Sunday Jul
y 29th. E-mail tjroan@yahoo.
com. This is so we can prepare for Saturday dinner and so I can get an
estimate on costs. Please still come unannounced if you have last minute
availability or you just do not plan that far ahead. There will be plenty
of space and we probably will even have extra food (but you may want a back
up plan).

Camp Details:

This is a primi
tive site so no electricity or running water.

We will
make water available but if you have a large water cooler you want to share
that is appreciated.

We can get water from the Knutson dam close b
y but it is a drive distance.

Bathroom facilities are outhouses.

There is a main parking area for campers and tent pads are
scattered throughout the grounds

We are on Cass lake with lake/beac
h access. It has been a few years but the beach has always been sandy and
nice and swimming has been great.

We are in a forest with many tree
s so there is shade but bringing portable shelters is still not a bad idea
as congregation happens in open areas

There is a large open sided p
icnic shelter for meals and general shelter from sun and rain.

Actually there are two but spaced far away from each other as this
is technically 2 sites

We will be getting a load of fire
wood delivered for the weekend

A jockey box will be available if yo
u're bringing kegs. Of course\, bottles\, growlers and any other beer cont
ainers are encouraged.

Appreciate it if you let me kno
w you are planning to use the jockey box. It may influence which one I bri
ng.

Cost and Registration Information:

Cost will be based on participation but expect around $25 p
er adult for the full weekend including campground\, firewood\, and Saturda
y dinner. Email me for “registration” tjroa
n@yahoo.com

Since we pay a set cost for the ground
s and firewood\, cost per person will be determined by attendance.

If you do not wish to participate in the Saturday dinner\, no worries and n
ot a problem. You will only pay camping fees\, which is roughly half.

Kids eat and stay for free. We do need them in the head count for food
though so I still need to know they are coming.

If you've been to the campout\, you know it's primarily a time to kick
back and enjoy good beer and fun beer drinkers.

Feel free to partic
ipate as you wish

Bring beer to share. Club jockey boxes will be av
ailable so kegs are welcome and encouraged

The campfires are always
accompanied by the passing around of great beers for all to sample. Start
thinking now about what delectable delights you'll bring in your cooler.
li>

The host clubs cook dinner Saturday evening\, but for all other meal
s you'll want to make sure you bring food for yourself and/or family.

<
li>Of course\, bring your own camping gear and chairs.

Well behaved
dogs are welcome.

Well-behaved acoustic instruments are welcome.
li>

Amplified music is generally unwelcome.

Special Events:

Over the years some tra
ditions have developed and some new ones are added:

Master of Malt: This fun competition between
clubs has been held at the campout since 1992 (yes this will be year 25).
Each club can enter up to four brews: one for ALES\, one for LAGERS\, one
for BELGIANS\, and one for MEAD/CIDERS. There will be awards for 1st\, 2nd
\, and 3rd in all categories and best of all\, you will be competing for th
e coveted title of Master of Malt! The win is recorded forever in history
for your club AND you get to spend a full year with the prestigious Master
of Malt trophy. It is kind of like the Stanley Cup\, but it’s a KEG!

If you have one of the 4 plaques please bring or se
nd with someone and let us know it is coming.

Sour Hour: A tart happy hour. Sometime
in the lull between the Master of Malt competition and dinner we will get
together and break out some sour beers. It is a very casual thing. Bring
and share if you like sours. Try to limit it to 1 or 2 per person.<
/li>

Bloody Mary Mornings
(okay\, maybe early afternoon for later risers): Some of us like to start
the day with a good Bloody Mary (remember the old saying\, "you can't drink
all day if you don't start in the morning.") This is another low key even
t\, if you would like to begin your day this way\, bring your own mix and v
odka to begin\, but also bring one Bloody Mary Builder to share with the gr
oup (pickles\, beef sticks\, cheese\, celery\, the list is endless). Let's
see how creative we can get.

Join us for our annual Iron Home Brewer co
mpetition! The secret ingredient for 2018 is Chocolate. Brew a beer\, mead
or cider that showcases Chocolate for a chance to win something pretty spec
ial!

Bring your homebrew\, friends and snacks and join us at Northern
Brewer Minneapolis for this fun event!

Josh is planning on having an
interactive display and demo of how he boxes up and ships homebrew.

For the first time since time began\, the
annual Holiday Potluck WON'T be at the CSPS Hall\, but rat
her will be at Summit's training facility in Summit's newer building behind
the main brewery. The kind folks at the CSPS Hall were wonderful to our c
lub for decades\, but of late have understandably had to charge us rates cl
oser to what everyone else pays. Those rates mean that we really can't use
the CSPS Hall on a Friday or Saturday\, and even the Sunday rate we've pai
d for the holiday party the past two years has become too much to reasonabl
y bear.

Instead\, bring your delicious homemade potluck items and hom
emade beverages to Summit on Saturday\, December 8th. Beg
inning at 5:30 there will be a social hour with live music. The potluck will begin at 6:30\, and the live music continues u
ntil 7:30. We need to clear out of the room by 9:00\, but the new Summit b
eer hall is just about fifty steps from where the potluck is.

Summit
beer will be available for purchase throughout the party\, and home
made beer\, homemade mead\, and homemade<
/strong> cider are welcome\, but please no wine (homemade or commer
cial)\, liquor or commercial alcohol!

There will be a prize for the best cider made from this
year's cider purchase\, as well as prizes for best potluck item a
nd best beverage.
